Yeah, because I have no fucking clue how we can rank above Mexico, given our recent history.

Of course there are white sins: see Hitler, slavery, guillotines, atomic bombs and the accordion. However, to say that white people suck, as an aggregate, you would have to forget all about:

I read it, it's lame, I'm not white and if you switch one of the words in the title for a different color it suddenly becomes unacceptable. If it's unacceptable for one color it is for the other. Feel free to define racism however you want so it fits your view.

Speaking as a straight white guy, if other straight white guys are saying this and not getting at least pepper-sprayed for it, things apparently aren't hard enough.

What some people sneeringly refer to as "being politically correct" is what others refer to as being respectful of others. Radical concept, I know.

It's hard for "foreigners", but it's pretty hard for natives too! He probably couldn't speak it himself and chose to be insulting rather than admit his ignorance. I think that comment perfectly sums up how Irish-born people often think of people with Irish heritage: You're outsiders who have an interest in the country…

People calling Ireland Eire when speking in English is a pet peeve of mine, and it's technically incorrect. But there's a much more important point being made here.

Ha, don't call it Eire like you're actually Irish! Tá tú glan as do mheabhair.

1) ROYGBIV is great, and balanced. This post wasn't, because most people don't know what you've just said. I'm sorry, I don't follow you on twitter, but thank you for saying what you did.

1) You didn't. You said that similar things had happened to you in the US and in Japan, but that's anecdotal. You did not acknowledge the statistics and reports that make it absolutely clear that this is not a problem unique to Ireland.

Three questions: how is this significantly different or worse than the situation in the United States? http://transequality.org/PDFs/Executive…

It's not universal and perhaps, when this article originally appeared, I was hearing from some idiot on discussion boards who seemed more worried about the MLS draft than any other aspect of American soccer (except perhaps for us not calling it "football").

I thought for a moment the headline was

Ronaldo is gross but someone who has twice bitten opponents is a sweetie?And I'm saying this as someone who is a Liverpool fan and sincerely hopes that Suarez had learned to control himself.

I haven't seen any racism against him in the press could you give me an example, also it wouldn't be racism (maybe xenophobia) because he viewed as white here in the UK.

So, let me get this straight. Hollywood gives black people largely unflattering or stereotypical portrayals of themselves. Black people consume this product in large numbers, making profits for the studios. Studios see this, realize black people like said product and respond by creating more product, and HOLLYWOOD is…

Someone needs to explain to him that a tie is not a tie, but that a draw is a tie and a tie is a match.

Just to be a pedant...no British journalist would use the word 'tie' to refer to a winless outcome; that's a 'draw'.

Ted lasso will the the next Tyrone Bainisteoir.

How many countries are there in this country? Goddamn it...
